Drop all the instructions regarding kernel modules compilation. Drop documentation about Makefile variables, they are already documented in the Makefile itself. git-svn-id: http://lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/branches/lm-sensors-3.0.0@4875 7894878c-1315-0410-8ee3-d5d059ff63e0

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
The lm-sensors package, version 3, provides user-space support for the
|
|
hardware monitoring drivers in Linux 2.6.5 and later. For older kernel
|
|
versions, you have to use lm-sensors version 2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Build-time dependencies:
|
|
* GNU make
|
|
* gcc
|
|
* bison
|
|
* flex
|
|
* libsysfs header files (from sysfsutils-devel)
|
|
* rrd header files (optional, for sensord)
|
|
|
|
Run-time dependencies:
|
|
* libsysfs (from sysfsutils)
|
|
* perl (for sensors-detect)
|
|
* rrd (optional, for sensord)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compilation
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
At the top of the Makefile are a couple of configuration variables that
|
|
you may want to change. There's a description of what each variable does
|
|
in the Makefile itself.
|
|
|
|
Compilation is done by `make all'. You will get a lot of warnings about
|
|
files which are not found, all ending in `.*d'. You can safely ignore
|
|
this; they contain dependency information, which is regenerated on the
|
|
spot.
|
|
|
|
`make install' installs the package (to /usr/local by default).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the sensors package
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
There is a scanning program installed called sensors-detect. It
|
|
will scan all available I2C and SMBus adapters for all known sensor
|
|
devices, and will also look for ISA, PCI and Super-I/O chips with
|
|
sensors, and give you a list of what kernel drivers you need to load
|
|
(using modprobe).
|
|
|
|
You can use the installed sensors program to get a report of all detected
|
|
sensor devices. There is also a manual page for this program. Calling
|
|
`sensors -s' will set the limits and other configuration settings
|
|
specified in /etc/sensors.conf. Again, read the manual pages for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
There are many auxiliary programs not installed. You can find them under
|
|
the prog subdirectory. A list can be found in doc/progs.
